What is that vision that Lee Cronin brings to his ‘The Mummy’? An utterly vicious, shambling behemoth that is difficult to process how it coheres together, but a visceral one. 

‘Gohan’ is as efficient a piece of mainstream ‘cry and laugh-er’ as it should be, one that both reflects the modern era we are living in, and one that implores us to continue living in the midst of it, even with its difficulties, with our furry companions.

Armed with confidence and a sense of extreme escalation, ‘They Will Kill You’ is one hell of a ride that, in its stumbles, still has the guts to entertain.

There's comfort in familiarity that 'Shelter' embodies in spades, like a quick grab from your local fast food joint.

Through its artistic eccentricities and a vast alteration of the franchise's textual and tonal DNA, 'Return to Silent Hill' is surprisingly one of the more viscerally experiential pieces of genre filmmaking under the guise of translating a video game property to the big screen.

‘Primate’ is a brisk, riotous picture that delivers what you’d expect from its synopsis, and does so with striking visual aptness and a whole lot of blood.

‘Scarlet’ is a volatile picture in more ways than one, settling for operatic bombast but still desiring to be a reconstruction of the Shakespearean tale with only a slither of the finesse.

‘Manila’s Finest’s’ posturing of a distinct personal experience during a pivotal moment in Philippine history belies a more minutely bleak, complex, and gut-churning deconstructive narrative.

While ‘Keeper’ isn’t a bad frightfest of a time at the cinema, containing a potent mix of intriguing visual ideas and commanding atmosphere, it’s also a signifier that Osgood Perkins has further ways to go in expanding the breadth of his elusivity in this more ‘pop’ framework.

‘Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc’ is the wild anime B-movie that its acolytes might be awaiting, imbuing its fantastical ambitions and tight plotting with a tinge of mournful empathy.

‘The Long Walk’ is not an easy watch, as its stripped down, unflinching viscera might perturb those looking for an expected narrative push within a mainstream Lionsgate production. Stick with its punishing micro lens though, and the film's damaged, beating heart will never not seep through at any moment, as it holds on to the light of life even in the midst of the dark.

‘The Life of Chuck’s’ good-spirited empathy and crowd-pleasing tendencies that belie its sharper complications is a balance it walks well towards a central message: wonder and happiness will always be within our reach.

Armed with a sprawling, twisty narrative which overstuffs itself as much as it micromanages, ‘Weapons’ stands out as an equal parts horrific, darkly hilarious, and affectingly unstable image of hidden evils in suburbia.

Source material accuracy notwithstanding, ‘Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy’s’ squandering of character and metanarrative elements reveal a glossy spectacle with lacking heart.

‘Bride Hard,’ starring Rebel Wilson, is the type of project with a canvas wide enough that if utilized well, would potentially be an entertaining romp, sadly we live in a world where that didn’t materialize.

‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ is a gleeful return to the anarchic ultraviolence that is the franchise’s raison d'etre, giving you what you’d expect in subtly different, yet all the more tense and outrageous manner.

‘The Legend of Ochi’ is a lovingly crafted riff on classic fantasy adventure films, one whose intimate foggy mountain atmosphere gives weight to rather broad-brush storytelling.

'A Working Man' is exactly what the marketing advertised — Jason Statham annihilating those in his way for a personal vendetta. But aside from the gleefully brutal intermittent bursts of carnage, there isn’t much substance beneath the surface.

Beneath the slight eccentric clunkiness of ‘In The Lost Lands’ lies a very stylish and charmingly dorky slice of fantasy that believes in its own scrappy, wondrous illusions, and is all the better for it.

Companion’s sturdy structuring, biting humor, and tight pace of escalating tension allows it to bolster its thematic sentiments through an intriguing premise. It’s acidic fun with a twisted, beating heart.
